The greatest and longest running economic expansion that has never been reported on. Instead the press wages a 6 year propaganda war against an elected president. Democrats seem to think that is ok because it presently fits their view of the world. Personally I find it as terrifying as anything going on in the world today. Goebbels couldn't have done it any better.

Case in point yesterday Tony Snow talked of the success's in Iraq and the success of the surge. After his statements there were 19 questions, 18 of them about Iraq and one about Libby. The NYT's lead on the conference is that the White House is trying desperately to put Libby and the leak behind them and then many paragraphs about Plame, etc. So 15 seconds of the entire conference is portrayed by the NYT as the entire conference. I't positively unreal IMO and dangerous.

More and more people are starting to see the press for what they are however.

Courtroom Explodes in Laughter After ABC’s SAWYER Touts Fairness of Journalists

Posted by Scott Whitlock on July 12, 2007 - 14:35.
Thursday’s edition of "Good Morning America" featured a DIANE SAWYER anecdote that revealed the low opinion Americans have of journalists. After wrapping up a segment on people who avoid jury duty, the ABC co-host recounted the "hurtful" experience she had in a courtroom:

DIANE SAWYER: "You know, I wanted to sit on a jury once and I was taken off the jury. And the judge said to me, 'Can, you know, can you tell the truth and be fair?' And I said, 'That's what journalists do.' And everybody in the courtroom laughed. It was the most hurtful moment I think I've ever had."
